Make sure you let it sit several hours or over night so the flavors gets through everything. You may want to add a little more dressing after it has sat for a while.

My husband took one bite, turned to me and said, "this one's a keeper".My husband took one bite, turned to me and said, "this one's a keeper". He liked the flavor and texture combinations --and with the garden bringing in lots of cucumbers and tomatoes, this is great. The only change I made was to use Kraft Greek Vinagrette instead of Italian dressing.

This Recipe is simple and it tastes very good!This Recipe is simple and it tastes very good! The dill really punches up the recipe. This dish does'nt have a ton of real powerful flavor, but its a perfect side dish for a summertime meal. I will definitely make this recipe again. I already have a box of couscous in my pantry.

Of course, I had to explain to them what couscous was, but they all tried it and loved it. I used a flavored (tomato & basil) feta cheese, rather than the plain.

My family doesn't prefer a lot of cucumber. They like chickpeas, too, which would be an appropriate addition.

I have a new love for couscous and feta.I have a new love for couscous and feta. I accidentally picked up basil and roasted tomato feta, so I will have to try it with the regular kind. Also, it will be much better when tomatoes are in season!
